On behalf of the staff and faculty, I would like to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of support we have already received for those affected by Hurricane Katrina. Your warmth and generosity make this community strong, and help us to extend a welcoming hand to those suffering at this time. I know you all will want to be a part of the aid we can give to these families displaced by the hurricane. If you will check this web site periodically, we will do all we can to keep you informed about how we all can help.

Ryan SERVES will evolve and change as the needs of the people to whom it is directed change. Our desire is to provide information, help, and support to those in need.

We would like to thank in particular the Nashville Sports Council and Office Depot who have already generously contributed supplies and clothing to those families and students arriving from the Gulf Coast.

Also we would like to thank the employees of:

• Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce
• Nashville Sports Council
• Music City Bowl
• Nashville Technology Council
• Nashville Healthcare Council
• Nashville Downtown Partnership

for their donations.
